Music plays an important role in our lives, especially the lyrics. This blog will display the lyrics of my favorite songs. I am descended from a sept of the clan Gunn of Scotland, so I will post a lot of Scottish folk song lyrics. Enjoy.

The Scottish Soldier

There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
There was none bolder, with good broad shoulder
He's fought in many a fray, and fought and won.
He'd seen the glory and told the story
Of battles glorious and deeds neforious
But now he's sighing, his heart is crying
To leave these green hills of Tyrol.
Because these green hills are not highland hills
Or the island hills, the're not my land's hills
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
They are not the hills of home.

And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
Sees leaves are falling and death is calling
And he will fade away, in that far land.
He called his piper, his trusty piper
And bade him sound a lay... a pibroch sad to play
Upon a hillside, a Scottish hillside
Not on these green hills of Tyrol.

And so this soldier, this Scottish soldier
Will wander far no more and soldier far no more
And on a hillside, a Scottish hillside
You'll see a piper play his soldier home.
He'd seen the glory, he'd told his story
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
The bugles cease now, he is at peace now
Far from those green hills of Tyrol

Hi PPL, i would just like to make an introduction to you members at scotsongs.blogspot.com

Well thats called a awesome forum, I barely think about reading out a complete list of threads but this forum easily earned my interest and believe me, That?s unusual.

I was after some info and was searching on Yahoo Ireland for it. I visited each of the top seven pages that came up but didn?t get any relevant result... I then luckily found your diamond message board in the dirt and thought to check it out. This is just what I wanted! - what a sensational find!

Thanks peeps at scotsongs.blogspot.com and keep the superb effort up!!
